No I think he means *engine* plugins, nothing for editor, but, like, GUI for games...at least thats what I think...

Who bumped this 2009 thread?

Gahh, you saved my life Mac, I was going crazy. Thanks

Is this a bug or...? Edit: After playing around with it, It can't seem to find shaders...? I thing the whole project is messed up, so I will create it in a new directory...

Editor plugins would be nice too...

Its good to see you are making progress with CSG. I have never worked with it before, but it looks like a really good way of making simple buildings and such. I am really excited for LE3's editor.

+1 This would be really USEFUL!

Oh man I want to see foam!

Really good. What tools do you use for this...? Photoshop?

Ok so I made a really simple script: require("Scripts/constants/keycodes") require("Scripts/linkedlist") require("Scripts/filesystem") require("scripts/math/math") require("scripts/constants/engine_const") ScreenWidth = 1200 ScreenHeight = 720 --Set graphics mode if Graphics(ScreenWidth,ScreenHeight)==0 then Notify("Failed to set graphics mode.",1) return end RegisterAbstractPath("") --Create framewerk object and set it to a global object so other scripts can access it fw=CreateFramework() if fw==nil then Notify("Failed to initialize engine.",1) return end SetGlobalObject("framewerk",fw) FlushKeys() --HideMouse() local camera = fw.main.camera local scene = LoadScene("abstract::mountianvalley.sbx") while KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE)==0 do --Camera look fw:Update() fw:Render() Flip(0) end camera=nil ShowMouse() No scene gets loaded... engine.log: Leadwerks Engine 2.5 Initializing Renderer...

The problem I am having is not getting really realistic physics, but getting "the standard LE vehicle" working on my car model. But I don't understand why it is not working. For instance: chassis=LoadModel("abstract::monstertruck.gmf") carobject=objecttable[chassis] car=carobject.vehicle error: Attempt to index global carobject a nil value... I can't find any docs for objecttable[chassis] I just want to get the standard LE vehicle setup working for my model, thats it...

Ok so I need to set up a car from scratch. Can I use some of the scripts that are already written, or do I need to totally write some new code?

could use a bit of bloom...

i use blender

What about realtime?

That looks a lot like real water! Well done!

Thanks! Did not know that you needed that for objecttable...

Hey guys, I am adding my car models into my racing game in place of the scout model that comes with LE. However, my model viewer crashes every time I try to view that scout model so I can't see how it is structured. How each part of the model is named, etc. Could someone help me set up my car model? Thanks, Benton Edit: The error I get when I change the chassis model to my chassis is: chassis=LoadModel("abstract::muscleblack.gmf") carobject=objecttable[chassis] car=carobject.vehicle Error: Attempt to index global 'carobject' a nil value...

I don't know but 1.3 mil polys at 46 fps is expected...

That sounds like two bad guys in a noir movie

LOD distance to 4? And still not getting good FPS? Weird...

Hey guys, How do you go about making a material shiny and reflective, so it reflects the enviroment around the model? Not quite like a mirror, more like a really glossy car... I have no clue how to do this Thanks, Benton

I saw some water shaders in the shaders.pak file, I wonder if you could apply them to a smaller plane?

What effects are you running? Also, turn off skype before you do any tests as it is a memory hog. I can run a million polys at 60 fps on my computer so maybe a problem with your drivers?
